Gospel of John - John 21.15-19
Jobey McGinty
The story of Peter's denial and restoration should be precious to all of us, because it is our story, as well. Each of us has denied our Savior and turned our back on Him, in thought, word and deed. Each of us has relied on our own strength and convinced ourselves that "we've got this" or that it's at least possible for us to "got this" with enough work. But because Jesus' love goes well beyond our sinful, human limitations, we see him move towards Peter (and us) in our sin and failure, not away. He redirects the focus away from Peter's failures and onto His own faithfulness and love which will never fail, and He brings this same restoration to each of us today.
